Benelli Chick Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Mark your calendars. The 2007 Rocky Mountain 3-gun will be September 6-8 at the NRA Whittington Center. It will be a while for applications, but we wanted all of you to be able to make plans. Thanks so much to the Whittington Center for working with us to schedule a new date!

Benelli Chick Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 (edited) Well, the amazing Henning Walgren is updating the Rocky Mountain Three Gun Website. We've got our new contact page set up so you can contact us with questions or sponsorships, or if you want to RO. The website is rm3g.com. The application will be posted on the Website, but not until the end of the year. Once it's posted, you can start sending in apps. We'll give you a heads up here when we post it! Please feel free to send us your suggestions or questions. Thanks again to the NRA Whittington center for their help and support! Thanks also to Brownell's for being the first sponsor to contact us for 2007! Edited October 5, 2006 by Benelli Chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nm3gnr Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Denise, Thanks for the updates. I think it will be a great match once agian. It is very positive to see that you guys and gals are starting things out early for next year. The updated website is cool as well. I think Henning coming on board will be a great asset to the group. Keep the updates coming, as it keeps all the shooters positive about the match as well. And the big ? is, what about he man scope. Should a poll be started to see how many will actually shoot that and iron to see if there will be enough shooters. Just a thought, I know it is a ways off. Thanks !

Benelli Chick Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Blane's been thinking about adding Optics to HeMan, but then again, he lives in Colorado near Eddie Rhodes. And Blane's getting old(er) too. There's a question of scoring and some other things, but he said he'd like to hear what you guys (and gals) think on the big question. So, should we allow optics in he-man? If we do, it will be scored like tactical is now, with everyone together, but on rifle stages, iron and optics will be scored seperately and then put together.

nm3gnr Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I beleive if optics were allowed in HeMan, there would be about 50 shooters with iron and optic combined. I know a few in our club that would attend and shoot HeMan. I plan on shooting HeMan Iron this coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackboyd Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I would shoot He-Man if optics were allowed on the rifle. So would many others, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike P Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I would shoot He-Man if optics were allowed on the rifle. So would many others, I'm sure. Maybe I just don't get it. If a person wants to use optics on a rifle, they already have either open or tactical. Whats the deal having optics in HM? Why should age or physical limitations even be considered when creating rules for this or any other category. Its probably an insult to many who already compete in HM or even in the other divisions. My own view is that HM should be iron sighted .30 cal or larger rifle, iron sighted 12ga pump shotguns and .44 cal or larger pistols, and that all MUST make power factor. Sure, chronographs are a PITA at a big match, but when you calibrate steel for .55gr out of a 16' barrel you need to do it if only for the HM class or you'll wind up with .30 cal weasel loads and .45's that barely make through the paper.

Benelli Chick Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Just got back from a very fun Ft. Benning match! Will say thanks to them later, but while there, had a bunch of questions from people about Rocky Mountain. The dates are September 6, 7 and 8 of 2007. Once you get a date at Whittington, you keep it. The app will be posted on our website after the first of the year. Check out rm3g.com. Henning Walgren is our new webmaster and we hope everyone will find it a lot more helpful. I'm already excited as we have 5 sponsors and we haven't even been to the shot show. JP, Sabre, Nordic Components, Brownell's and R&R. These guys are way cool! Anyway, wanted to let everyone know we're still out here, though the match is over 10 months away! Not much about HeMan Optics! No one cares, has no thoughts, can't read these notes in order to comment on them?? Just kidding! See ya' all around! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmilk9 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm with Mike P on his views. 30cal rifle/.44 or bigger pistol/12 gauge pum shotgun. Chrono is a waste of time and bullets. if you can't knock down steel and others can, put more powder in!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 You see what optics did for limited [tactical now] class. It will bring more "seasoned" shooters out to shoot. Most people past 45 cannot see anymore but should be allowed to compete against other's. We are here to have fun, not run shooters off because they are "OLDER". I guess I am saying I vote to allow glass in he man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I'm with Benny on this. Just shy of 60, I can still shoot irons but I can't shoot them fast. If RM3G allows optics in Heman, you will have more shooters shooting main battle rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Benny was that Glass..... or GAS. cuz we now know that you favor both. I'm calling the hospital for the doctor's diagnosis. are you saying 2 separate divisions, iron heavy metal, and optic heavy metal?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout454 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I believe that's what Denise meant. Just like Tactical is now, scored together for the match but separately for the rifle stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.45 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I would shoot HeMan Scope class - I love battle rifles but my eyesight sucks - shooting HeMan with irons at RM3G in 2005 showed me that !! The argument that you CAN already shoot a 7.62 rifle with a scope in Tac Scope class is rubbish as your average shooter like me could not be competative against AR's - Bring on two He Man classes in line with Tac Scope - why not ??

Benelli Chick Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Just wanted to let everybody know, our website is experiencing technical difficulties. It's the Holiday Season and our webmaster is off gallivanting in Norway! It may take us a while to get it back up! All is well with us, except the website! Hope you all have a Happy Holiday! Ho ho ho and all that rot! Denise and JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat, love to shoot He-Man but can't see the iron sights. He Man to me is shootng the 308, 45, and 12 ga pump, not what you squint through. I say let's put optics on the rifles, let us glock guys shoot our G21's and/or G37's, and keep the (pump)shotgun as is. Keep in mind that even the US Military is putting optics on just about everything, including battle rifles... Tom Chambers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AH6IP Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Amen, what you said. Everyone is running an optic, so maybe we can call it "nostalgia" class? Mike, since when is the M4 NOT a battle rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Our website is back up and running! Sorry about that guys! Keep sharing opinions on Heman with optics. We really are leaning that way, but it will take a little adjustment in the scoring program. So let us know! Applications will be posted in January after the "Great One" gets back from Norway! Happy Holidays Everyone! See ya' in Raton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nm3gnr Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hey Denise ! Will there be a scoped and iron heman split this year ? We will send apps out tomorrow ! Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelli Chick Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 We need to reconfirm with Steve who is writing the scoring program to be sure it'll work, but I'm pretty sure it's no big deal. At this point, the answer is yes, Scoped and iron he-man scored together except on rifle stages where they will be scored separately. This is the way we have been scoring tactical iron vs. tactical scoped in the past! Just write it in on the application if you're shooting HeMan scoped! We'll reconfirm at registration! See ya' in September! Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Metal Only Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Are there anymore new rules you want to make up? I'm sorry that people get old and you move slower, your eyesight sucks, I can't get up. What else???? My back hurts. Its HEAVY METAL thats it. .308, 12g, .45 acp. That is the class if you cant deal with that go shoot open or tac. scope. If I wanted this to be easy ,I would stick with the 9mm, 20g, and the .223.
